Afrigraphica I & II



This pair of bright banners was a geometric play of colors and textures, framed in black and dotted with cowrie shells. I have done these designs as a mockingbird spews new songs; they just keep tumbling out and the patterns can run for miles, ever changing and combining, never repeating.

This time, I tried to conceive contemporary African color combinations.

Ears pinned back in full attack mode, Tom bites off the enemy cowrie shell.


Afrigraphica I & II will hang in the Walker Zanger Showroom at 101 Henry Adams St. #412 during the month of November, as the San Francisco Design Center highlights TEXTILES. 10% of the proceeds for the sale of 36 displayed art quilts will be donated to the Textile Arts Foundation of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
